Certbot DNS Plugin for Hostinger

This plugin automates the process of completing a dns-01 challenge by creating, and subsequently removing, TXT records using the Hostinger API.

Installation

pip install certbot-dns-hostinger

Usage

certbot certonly \
    --dns-hostinger \
    --dns-hostinger-credentials /path/to/credentials.ini \
    -d example.com

Named Arguments

--dns-hostinger-credentials PATH

• Hostinger credentials INI file. (Required)

Credentials

Create a credentials file:

# /path/to/credentials.ini
dns_hostinger_api_token = <your-api-token>

The file should be readable by the Certbot process and secure (chmod 600).

API Token

To obtain an API token:

1. Log in to your Hostinger account
2. Go to https://hpanel.hostinger.com/domains
3. Navigate to API section
4. Generate a new API token with DNS management permissions

Examples

Obtain a single certificate for all subdomains of a domain:

certbot certonly \
    --dns-hostinger \
    --dns-hostinger-credentials ~/.secrets/certbot/hostinger.ini \
    -d example.com \
    -d *.example.com

Use a custom propagation delay:

certbot certonly \
    --dns-hostinger \
    --dns-hostinger-credentials ~/.secrets/certbot/hostinger.ini \
    --dns-hostinger-propagation-seconds 120 \
    -d example.com

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, check:

1. API token is correct and has proper permissions
2. Domain is managed by Hostinger
3. Credentials file is readable and secure
4. Network connectivity to Hostinger API
